The Indiana men’s soccer team is once again competing in the NCAA tournament, with the Hoosiers facing off against the No. 4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The match will take place in the Elite 8, and the Hoosiers have a solid track record, winning their last eight matches by defeating Lipscomb, Wake Forest, and Virginia in tournament play. The team is led by top goal-scorers Collins Oduro, Sam Sarver, and Maouloune Goumballe, with J.T. Harms providing reliable defense. Not to be outdone, the Fighting Irish have also secured impressive victories against Kentucky and Western Michigan.
